The cameo depicts Augustus as a triumphant demigod wearing the aegis, a cape usually associated with Jupiter and Minerva. Here, it is decorated with the head of a wind god, perhaps intended as a personification of the summer winds that brought the corn fleet from Egypt to Rome and so an oblique reference to Augustus\u2019s annexation of Egypt after the defeat of Mark Antony and Cleopatra at Actium in 31 B.C.Free picture Sardonyx cameo portrait of the Emperor Augustus integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
